Be 1t known that I, WALTER EDWARD `A.

RnrriNonn, a citizen of the United States,

residing at Paola,in the county of Miami and Stateof Kansas, have invented a new and useful Tobacco Pipe, of which `the following is a specification. i

My invention relates to tobacco pipes, and .the object of the invention is to provide an inexpensive and sanitary tobacco pipe havingfacilities for burning tobacco and furnishing cool dry smoke therefrom.

I attain this object and other advantages by means of the structure and part-s illustrated in the accompanying drawing in whicht Figure 1, is a vertical section of a tobacco pipe which embodies my invention.

Figure 2, is a plan view of the lower side of the cap member, a part of my invention.

Figure 3, is a cross section through the lbowl of the pipe, on the line 3-3, in Figure l. i

Figure 4, is a vertical section of a modified form of thebowl of the pipe, and showing the bowl removable from the pipe bowl and,

Figure 5, is a plan view of the lower end of the pipebowl.

Similar numerals of reference refer :o corresponding parts throughout the several views.

Referring to the drawings the numeral l, designates the bowl of the pipe, 9 desig* nates the tobacco bowl for burning the tobacco and 3, is the pipe stem. rlhe pipe bowl may be made of any suitable material or substance, preferably, made of briar wood, because, of its well known durability and beauty. The stem may, also, be made of any suitable material and may be integral with the pipe bowl, or detachably mounted thereon. The pipe bowl, in this instance, is formed cyliiidrical and, in the lower end of the saine at the vertical axis thereof, is a concentric outlet opening t, thus forming, between the opening and the inner end of the tobacco bowl, a partition 5, in which are a plurality of holes 6, apertured in vertical direction and providing communication between the tobacco bowl and atmosphere. An annular channel or chamber 7, is formed in the vertical wall of the pipe bowl, the depth of the chamber being substantially the same as the depth of the tobacco bowl. In the upper portion of the wall of the tobacco bowl are a plurality t of horizontally apertured holes 8, thusv pro` viding communication between the tobacco bowl and the chamber 7. A cap member 9, is removably mounted on the upper end of ythe pipe bowl and provided with an annular flange l0, adapted for entering thecupper end of the chamber 7, with suitable friction to, thereby, prevent air from ventering the chamber, except through the tobacco bowl,

- and provided with a boss or plug 11, adaptthe pipe bowl, the wall of the bowl is reinforced and through the reinforced portion, is a hole 12, suitable for the reception of the pipe stem, the hole being in communication with the chamber 7. In the modified form of tobacco pipe, shown in Figure 4, the tobacco bowl 2 has at its ends and ciroumferentially of the bowl laterally projecting ianges lll, which, in operative position, function to seal the chamber 7 thus doing away with the necessity for the flange 10.

To use the tobacco pipe-the cap 9, is removed and the tobacco bowl 2, is loaded with a charge of tobacco, whereupon the cap is again placed on the pipe bowl, the iiange 10, thereon being fitted into the upper end of the chamber 7, and the plug 11 fitted into the mouth `of the tobacco bowl, thus effectually preventing air from entering the bowl or chamber, at the upper end of the pipe bowl. Then, the smoker takes the pipe stem into his mouth, applies the flame of a lighted match to the lower side of the partition 5 and, then drawing or sucking on the stem, in the well known manner of tobacco smoking, draws the flame and air through the holes 6, into the tobacco bowl and ignites the tobacco in the pipe. 1When the tobacco is burning, the smoke therefrom is drawn by the smoker through the tobacco to the upper end of the tobacco bowl, to and against the lower side ofthe cap 9, the. lat,- ter being relatively cooler the smoke is perceptably cooled From the upper end of the tobacco bowl the smoke is drawn through the holes 8, into the chamber 7, and therefrom, through the pipe stem to the smokers mouth. After the smoker has made draught`l on the pipe, there remains int-hellchamber?, and inthe upper end of the tobacco bowl a residue of tobacco smoke and which is cooled by cont-act vwith-the cool cap and the coolrouter wall of the chamber, thereby, depositing nicotine and other deleterious substances carried by-the smoke, on thev wall of the chamber, in the cooling process. tent draughts of the smoker, a smooth, cool, 'and sanitary tobacco smoke is J drawn r*from thefchamberLk As the tobacco burns. the ashes' are Wasted through the `holes Wand easily cleaned by removing the cap *member and brushing or' washing out the Same.

Havin if Intatobacco-pipe, an'fouter bowlhaving Thereafter, the `intermit 6, vafigentle ytapping or': shaking of the pipe Ywill'. serve toy clear the ire of ashes. 1Tlie"b'owl and the `chamberymay bey readily.

gf described my invention what I' l claim v1s an opening in the bottom thereof, an inner -bowl removably mounted in said outer bowl and having a plurality of openings in the bottomthereof communicating with atmosphere and provided circumferentially with laterally projecting annular flanges forming said innerlbowl, and a hollow stem piercing the wall of saidouter bowl and' communieatingy With theschamber surrounding said inner bowl.
